Twin Lake North in Brooklyn Center, MN is an independent living community designed for older adults who are still largely self-reliant but want predictable access to health-related services. Residents have a 24-hour emergency call system that links directly to on-site staff trained to respond to urgent medical situations and coordinate transport to local hospitals if needed. Routine wellness checks can be scheduled, and the staff can help residents track blood pressure, glucose levels, and other basic health indicators. For those who need it, medication reminders and coordination with local pharmacies or visiting home-health agencies can be arranged, ensuring prescriptions are filled and taken on schedule.
Beyond direct medical support, Twin Lake North offers several services that help residents maintain independence without the strain of day-to-day chores. Weekly housekeeping and linen service keep apartments sanitary, while scheduled transportation assists residents in reaching physicians’ appointments, grocery stores, and community events. A full calendar of fitness classes, educational programs, and social gatherings gives residents structured opportunities to stay active and connected. The presence of a secure entrance and regular safety checks further contributes to peace of mind for both residents and their families.
Apartments at Twin Lake North are available in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Each unit includes a private bathroom with step-in shower, individual climate control, and basic cable hookups, and many have in-unit laundry and full kitchenettes, though not all accommodations have all these features. Ample closet space and large windows add practicality, and select units offer patios or balconies overlooking landscaped grounds. Small pets are welcome in designated units; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Meals are served three times daily in a central dining room where residents choose from rotating menus that accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, vegetarian, and other physician-recommended diets.
